Banks Course[]

The Banks Course was created by Charles “Steamshovel” Banks in 1931.[1]

Banks Course Featured Hole 12[]

This Horseshoe completely surrounded by bunkers, this par three is a copy of many elevated short holes in Scotland. "Buried elephants" is one way to describe the horseshoe-shaped undulation.[citation needed]

Palmer Course[]

Originally created by Hal Purdy in 1961, but redesigned in 1995 by the Arnold Palmer Group and again in 2007 by Steven Kay.
